Message

When asked of the mark she made with her family.... “Keep your family close.”

Psalm 127:3–5 NASB95

3 Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 5 How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

When you are surrounded by family, you can draw some amazing conclusions.

You are blessed.

You have lived a full life.

You leave a legacy.

Jesus Christ is our legacy.
